Olecranon system 2.8

The Medartis Olecranon 2.8 system offers a range of plates with innovative fixation concepts that can help reduce soft tissue irritation and, consequently, lower the rates of hardware removal surgeries. Fixation Options The low-profile double TriLock plates for Olecranon 2.8 are designed to fix complex olecranon fractures without interfragmentary support. Their innovative lateral positioning allows for muscular soft tissue coverage and a greater number of screws to secure small proximal fragments. [2] The TriLock tension plate for Olecranon 2.8 was developed as a replacement for traditional tension band wiring. The low-profile plate is very thin, resulting in minimal hardware prominence [3], and can withstand tensile forces. It is indicated for fractures and osteotomies of the proximal ulna with interfragmentary support. For complex olecranon fractures, including Monteggia fractures, Medartis includes in its product portfolio the 2.8 TriLock dorsal olecranon plates, characterized by exceptional anatomical fit and specific pre-angled screw holes that allow guided screw trajectories toward the coronoid. The plates are available in various lengths with three proximal end configurations. Medartis offers multiple options for the treatment of olecranon fractures, with versatile solutions tailored to fracture patterns and surgeon preferences. Curved Double TriLock Plates for Olecranon 2.8 Highlights

• Low plate profile and high rotational stability due to the biomechanically favorable posterolateral and posteromedial plate positioning.
• Plates can be covered with soft tissue (anconeus muscle and flexor carpi ulnaris muscle), thereby reducing wound healing complications and the likelihood of hardware removal.
• A high number of screw options allows for particularly stable fixation of small proximal fragments.
• High primary stability due to screw positioning orthogonal to the direction of tensile forces from the triceps brachii muscle.
• Easy bending to adapt to the patient’s individual anatomy.
